Admins can create confidential jobs that are hidden from standard account users. Standard users must be added as team members for a confidential job to be included. You are not able to advertise confidential jobs.
Confidential jobs:
- Are not visible by regular account members unless they are added to the hiring team.
- Are not visible on job boards or careers pages.
- Are not visible on your Referrals portal for referrals and/or internal applications.
- Have all the applicant tracking features available (e.g., comments, emails, event schedules, moving candidates through the pipeline).
- Can accept candidates via manual upload or the job mailbox.
- Count as one of the active job slots in your Workable subscription plan.
You might use a job confidentially if you're replacing someone who has access to your Workable account or if you're recruiting for an opening that hasn't been announced to the company yet.
For new jobs:
When you create a new job through Workable:
- Click the arrow on the right of the 'Publish' button to reveal the publishing options
- Select 'Use Confidentially'
For existing jobs:
When you wish to make an existing job confidential:
- You will first need to 'Unpublish & use internally'
- Then you will be able to switch its status to 'Use confidentially'
Note: If you're using the Hiring Plan, non-admin users must be on the hiring team of a confidential job to be able to approve requisitions.
